Abstract:The harnessing of plasmon-induced hot carriers promises to open new avenues for the development of clean energies and chemical catalysis. The extraction of carriers before thermalization and recombination is of primordial importance to obtain appealing conversion yields. Here, hot carrier injection in the paradigmatic Au-TiO 2 system is studied by means of electronic and electron-ion dynamics. Our results show that pure electronic features (without considering many-body interactions or dissipation to the envir… Show more
